Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Windows-centric tools and commands (PowerShell cmdlets like New-VMSwitch, New-NetIPAddress, New-NetNat, and Get-NetAdapter) for configuring virtual switches and NAT networks. There are no examples or guidance for performing equivalent tasks on Linux-based dev boxes or with cross-platform virtualization tools. UI instructions reference Windows-specific dialogs, and no Linux alternatives are provided.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, such as using libvirt/virt-manager, iptables/nftables, and network configuration files.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using nmcli, ip, brctl, or virsh) for creating virtual switches and NAT networks.
- Provide screenshots or step-by-step guides for configuring network settings on Linux guest VMs.
- Clearly indicate when instructions are Windows-specific and offer cross-platform alternatives where possible.
- Consider a section or callout for macOS users if relevant, or clarify platform support up front.
